Dinner was naturally eaten in the Lin Mansion, with two tables for men and women, and a few children prepared a table separately.

If only Jinniang's family and Father Lin's Aunt Shen were there, the family wouldn't have to worry too much, and a table would be squeezed down. But now my uncle's family is also there, although they are close relatives, they don't know each other, so there is still a screen in the middle of the meal.

Xu Erlang drank a stomach full of wine and couldn't eat anything. Jin Niang was very distressed when she saw this, so she deliberately gave Brother Rong a look and asked him to bring a bowl of fish fillet porridge to his father.

Brother Rong was also clever, and ran over to say auspicious words to all the elders, and also added some soup to everyone so that they could eat comfortably. He not only cared about Xu Erlang's table, but even Jinniang's side did not fall, this thoughtful and considerate energy made Uncle Shen's eyes very sour.

But will Aunt Shen admit that she envies Jinniang for teaching her son? Not really! She didn't say anything, but muttered sourly in her heart: Boys have to do big things, and they only care about these details, and they don't have any interest.

couldn't help but turn her head and glance at her eldest grandson, Shen Qiubai, who she brought up. Because she disliked his mother earlier and was not worthy of their Shen family, she also prevented her daughter-in-law from seeing her grandson. If it weren't for Uncle Shen's anger when he heard the news and asked her to return the child, maybe the child wouldn't have been able to see his mother a few times now.

But what about sending it back? Uncle Shen was domineering, she didn't want her grandson to be close to her daughter-in-law, and she was worried that her grandson would learn from her daughter-in-law's poor sourness, so she usually brought it by herself. It's also strange that this child was raised by her, and he didn't learn a little bit of her temperament, neither pinching the tip to be strong, nor messing around, he didn't know who he was like, and his temperament was quite loyal and honest. Of course, this is to say that if it sounds good, it is called loyal and honest, and if it is not good, it is called Mu Ne without eyes. Aunt Shen was very dissatisfied with this, especially now that the contrast was so strong, she felt even more uncomfortable.

She also wanted her grandson to be sleek and smart, and take the opportunity to please Xu Erlang and Jinniang, and say some flattering words in front of them, but unfortunately, the child only cared about talking to Changzhou with a smile, and didn't notice their movements at all. Not to mention coming over to greet the elders like Brother Rong, that kid didn't know that there was such a commotion.

This meal Jin Niang ate quite well, if her aunt and aunt hinted that she gave Shen Cheng a certain official position, she thought she could eat more. What's more, because Aunt Shen has been saying good things about her cousin intentionally or unintentionally, saying that he is capable and will become Erlang's right-hand man in the future, which is embarrassing, and it also makes Jinniang lose her appetite, and finally put down the chopsticks after eating a little less.

It was already late after the meal, but Xu Erlang and Uncle Shen had already made the deed that Father Lin had said, and they couldn't stop for a while.

When Aunt Shen saw this, she said to Jinniang, "No, you can stay here tonight, and you won't have to run back and forth tomorrow." "Jinniang will come over tomorrow, Qing'er has a lot of trivial things to help her get an idea, and she can't be absent as a sister. is also because the Lin family's heirs are thin, and the people who can take care of them are all in Pingyang, and they have no foundation in the capital, otherwise they wouldn't have troubled a married girl in everything.

Speaking of the Lin family, they also came to Beijing to attend Qing'er's wedding. However, most of the people in the countryside are simple, and they don't want to come here in advance to add a burden to others. Although there are only more than ten people in total, living in the capital for a month or two will cost dozens of taels of silver. When the Lin family is now stretched thin, they will not add to the chaos, and when the day is almost over, they will hire an ox cart to come over.

Don't talk about these far away, just say that because she will come to Lin Mansion tomorrow, Aunt Shen asked Jin Niang and a few people to simply stay, but Jin Niang shook her head when she heard this. "It's okay for us to do it, but Erlang can't. There is a big court meeting tomorrow, and he still has to enter the palace. His official uniform is kept at home, and he has to go back to get his things when he really stays. "It's too much trouble. The key is that the husband and wife don't have the usual things here, and even if they live, they feel inconvenient everywhere. In that case, it is better to go back to the house.

As soon as Aunt Shen heard Jinniang's words, she didn't persuade her. The son-in-law's entry into the palace is a serious matter, and it is not good to delay it. Besides, the son-in-law rides horses when he goes to the palace, and there are stables in this house, but the place is not big, and it is a little crowded to raise three or five horses. And they came from Binh Duong, and there were five or six of their carriages alone. The carriages were placed separately, and the horses were placed in the stables, and it was heard that no one could get in.

It's good for Jin Niang to go back, and she lives comfortably at home.

By the time Jin Niang and Xu Erlang arrived at Xu's mansion, it was already late.

Strangely, the lights in Heyan Hall were bright, and it was obvious that the two elders had not rested.

Jin Niang said, "Let's go over and have a look?" ”

Xu Erlang bowed his head, and the family went to Erlang Heyan Hall.

Mother Xu and Mother Xu came out of their respective rooms when they heard the sound of the announcement, and they were relieved to see that Jinniang, Xu Erlang and several children had all come back neatly. Mother Xu said, "Have your father-in-law and mother-in-law been placed there?" ”

The words were asked by Xu Erlang, Xu Erlang nodded, and said in a low voice, "It's okay." ”

"That's good, that's good." Mother Xu sighed as she spoke, "They are not young, and they must have suffered a lot from Pingyang to the capital." I originally wanted to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law in the past two days, but Qing'er, the child is about to get married, and the house must have been very busy for more than a month. When do you think it's right for me and your dad to go over? ”

Mother Xu's words are no longer appropriate, and she usually cares about what she has and doesn't have. Whether she is close to her family or not, in her eyes, it is not as important as her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in the past two years, it seems that she has suddenly fallen from the clouds to the mortal dust, and even paid attention to such interpersonal matters. Is this an enlightenment? Or is that tendon in your head suddenly wrong?

Jin Niang was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't say anything, Xu Erlang looked at her and asked, "What do you think?" When is it appropriate for parents to come over? ”

"It's all right, my father and aunt will definitely welcome it that day." Jin Niang hurriedly replied, "Today's dinner The two elders also mentioned that they would come to the house to visit the two elders, but they were running around and working hard, and they were very tired, so I said that they would delay for a few days before coming to the door." That's good, your father and aunt haven't come over yet, and you and your father are thinking about it. ”

Xu's mother said, "We can wait for our in-laws to come to the door, so we should go there in person." Not to mention that you have added a few good children to the family, and you have taken care of them in Chang'an to grow up, and you are a great contributor to the family, we should thank your father and aunt for raising you and adding a good daughter-in-law to our family; Just said that your father and mother rushed from Pingyang to the capital, and they must have suffered a lot along the way, and then let them come to visit them on purpose, isn't that tiring them? On the other hand, your father and I don't have this trouble, we two idlers, sit from morning to night all day, we go out to visit, and we are still relaxed. ”

Jin Niang was flattered, and Jin Niang didn't know what to say.

Her mother-in-law doesn't speak, and when she speaks, it's amazing. Is this really brain-opening? He even praised her. To be honest, Jin Niang was flattered and a little shocked at the same time, wasn't Mother Xu really pierced by someone's soul?

In the end, Jin Niang still made a decision for Father Lin and Aunt Shen, and let Father Xu and Mother Xu pass the day after tomorrow.

There will definitely be Zhang Luo in Nafu in the next two days, and by the way, let his father and aunt live slowly. The day after tomorrow, Xu's father and Xu's mother will go over again, and it should be almost relieved over there, and they can also lift their spirits if they are entertained.

After talking about Zhexi, there is nothing to do. When the children saw that the room was quiet, they began to talk to Xu's father and Xu's mother intimately. Tell them to rest early and don't stay up late, otherwise their bodies will collapse, and they will be distressed by these children and grandchildren.

Mother Xu was poured a stomach full of ecstasy soup, and her mouth couldn't close when she smiled. She was so happy that she said "yes" one by one, obviously hearing the words of several children in her heart.

Mother Xu chatted warmly with several children, and Judge Xu's father, like an inconsequential stranger, sat motionless on a chair carved from rosewood. To tell the truth, if it weren't for Father Lin pretending to sleep, Jin Niang would have to embarrass him.

Let's take a look at the cause and effect yesterday, let him ignore the children, and now the children don't know how to communicate with him. The big guys were chatting happily, so they flashed him aside, not knowing what Father Xu's mood was.

Jin Niang will go to Lin Mansion earlier tomorrow, and Xu Erlang will also go to court early, so the two decided to go back early.

If it's really not early today, the bangs of the next shift will be ringing. But before leaving, Jin Niang asked Xu Mu again, "Tomorrow, you look at these little ones, there are still some things to be done in the house over there, and I will go over to help in the next few days." Changle is older, but you don't have to worry too much, Xiao Yu'er and Brother Rong are okay, it's these three little ones, you should pay more attention. ”

Mother Xu even said "good", her attitude was not reluctant at all, but she was very excited. It's good to leave the child to her, she also wants to be close to the children. It's just that in the past few years, the children Jinniang is very managed, and she, as a mother-in-law, doesn't want to meddle rashly, making people think that she has opinions about Jinniang, so she is not overly enthusiastic and in contact with several children. It's good to hand over the child to her, and she also has experience in bringing the child.

Mother Xu had already figured out at this time, whether to take the triplets to learn piano, chess or calligraphy and painting tomorrow. She is lacking in other aspects, but she is really accomplished in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The children are going to learn these things anyway, and instead of following the gentlemen, she should teach them herself. It can also cultivate feelings along the way, and it is also conducive to finding out the child's shortcomings and proposing ways to improve them at the first time, which is really a good thing.

Mother Xu's small abacus crackled, but unfortunately Jinniang didn't know Mother Xu's thoughts, otherwise she would be so frightened that her face was pale.

She just wanted Mother Xu to help watch the children for a few days, and if Mother Xu stretched out her "poisonous hand" to the children, she would really cry to death.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are not bad, this is the four arts of gentlemen, and children really have to learn. But it's definitely not Xu's mother's learning method, nor is it her learning attitude. If the children are like their grandmothers, they devote their whole lives to it, and even the children who crawl out of their wombs are disregarded for the sake of their own chic...... Rather than that, she wants her children to be illiterate.

The next day, Xu Erlang went to the palace to go to court, and Jin Niang also went to Erlin Mansion after breakfast.

When she went to the Lin Mansion, several children were ready to go to class, Jin Niang looked around uneasily, and finally instructed Changle, Xiao Yu'er, and Brother Rong, "You are optimistic about these three, don't let them go to the house to reveal the tiles." ”

The triplets glared at Jin Niang angrily, are they such bear children, they are obviously good babies. Besides, my mother entrusted them to my grandmother yesterday, and today I told my brothers and sisters to take care of them together, how bearish their image is in my mother's heart.

The three children wrinkled their brows and looked at Jinniang with untamed faces, very aggrieved.

Jin Niang wanted to roll her eyes, look at it, it's this unruly little eyes, it can be seen that her hands are really itchy.

Jin Niang didn't want to trouble the three of Changle, but the combat effectiveness of the three small ones was too strong, and she was worried that Xu Mu was not their opponent. It's not that she's exaggerating the facts, her triplets are really the ones who can go to heaven with their tails. Especially Changqi, a well-behaved and ignorant baby, but because of the high force value, this child will bear several times more than her brother.

She also climbed up the pavilion to reach the Rui beast in the corner of the corridor, just because the two brothers wanted to see the difference between the Rui beast and the town house beast at the gate of the mansion. Three people, one has a bad idea, one can't control it and undoubtedly has a bad idea, and the other doesn't want to do it. If there is no town to take care of them, they are really lawless and can do anything.

Jin Niang continued to tell the three big ones, "If they go too far, just press and beat them, this is the privilege that my mother gives you." ”

The three big ones all smiled, and said happily to Jinniang, "Okay, don't worry, mother, leave everything to us." Grandmother didn't help, we helped with the aftermath. ”

The three little ones are like mourners, and there is a serious suspicion that they are not biological.

They were also going to secretly go to the Lin Mansion to find their mother today, but their mother actually appointed three other brothers and sisters to take care of them, so is it possible for them to escape?

When Jin Niang arrived at the Lin Mansion, everyone in the mansion was busy. There are people who prune the green plants, there are embroiderers who are busy tailoring clothes for Father Lin and Aunt Shen, and there are also stewards who come to report the reservation of wine and meat, etc., and there are some other things, and everyone is really busy with the back of their heads.

This is all in preparation for the marriage of young children.

However, Aunt Shen has never managed such a big stall, nor has she managed so many things, she is a little in a hurry, and her head is confused.

Fortunately, Jin Niang had expected this situation a long time ago, so in the end she took over these things. Of course, there is only a limit to what she can do alone, so she pulled Xuanxuan as a strong man.

This is a good opportunity to learn, and Jin Niang told Xuanxuan about the housekeeper and the skills of running the banquet one by one. In addition, the guidelines for dealing with the world, the precautions for communication, some customs in the capital, the taboos of some powerful families, and even the people who are good friends with the Lin family, those people can be friends, and those people can't, Jin Niang nodded a few words from Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan has never been exposed to these things, nor has she learned them. She used to learn rules and etiquette, and she was definitely a novice to the housekeeper.
